Want Their Freedom.

New YORK. March "A special from
Halifax sa VS.: The address OF the New
Foundland Legislature to the Imperial Gov
eminent has produced a sensation. If it il
not IL declaration OF Independence, it is the
next thing to it. New Foundlanders tell
the Imperial Government that they own
their fish, ries, and do not propose to pay
the slightest heed to French or American
interests, or to brook any interference from
the Imperial Government. The situation
is so serious hat both Premier Thoburn
and Sir Ambrose Shea, leader OF the oppo.
sition, have gone to London to represent
the dangerous character of the feelingin New
Foundland. Meanwhile the press and peo-
pie are universally discussing the benefits
Of annexation to the United States. Any
thing would be better than the present
state of affairs, and if annexation were
submitted to the popular vote it would be
carried by a ~three-fourths majority.

Look Ont for Your Wells.

It becomes more and more evident each
year that much of the sickness prevalent in
the country is directly attributable to the
quality of the water. By carefully studying
the matter it is found that in nine cases out
of ten typhoid fevers originate in families
whose water supply is from a well into which
impure water comes. This may be from the
farm yard, and quite generally such is the
case. For some years the water in a well
near the house may be pure and wholesome,
but by and by the soil between it and the
barn yard will become SO i~mpregnated with
pollution that an unhealthy quality will be
impaired to it, and disease will result from
its use.-American Agriculturist.

of New Foundland, informing him that
the Home Government does not feel justi-

SOLITAIRE.

Patience? Yes, that's the woman's game;
The dull delight of solitude,
Where rank on rank she strives to frame,
And speech or laughter ne'er intrude.
Night after night, beside the fire,
When evenings lonely lamp is lit,
Oppressed with thoughts that vex and tire,
Among the cards her fingers fit.
The woman's game! On some poor king
The sequence Of her play is built;
The queen comes after, hapless thing!
And next the knave with grinning guilt.
Then all her treasures, one by one,
Are thrown away to swell the pile.
The last and least: when that is done,
Begin again, the night beguile.
A woman's game; TO sit and wait;
Build anil rebuild, though fate destroy.
Shuttle the cards; for soon or late
There comes an end to grief and Joy.
A man may fight, or SOW, or reap,
Divide the seas, or traverse Garth;
She can hut drudge, or pray, or weep.
What is her life or loving worth?
She sits there when the day is dead,
Lonely aud ~iistIess. Do you dare
Deny, when all is done and said.
That woman's game is solitaire:
lose Terry Cooke in Harper's Bazar.
